Im trying out mixed media and cartoon drawing. Today I put this together, on a whim really. And because Mixed Media Monday's challenge last week was Friends and I think of my husband as my best friend. I dont think Im very happy with it. I dont know if the cartoon style is really for me and I really dont like the faces. lol. I was really trying to go along with my 'Contained' painting and use the same image for the lady.... I guess its hard for me to draw simple drawings without alot of detail to them or shading. I really am used to my pencil's, shading, and making things look realistic. But I so love mixed media.Its such a creative form and it really is so fun to create. I am always so inspired by the paintings & creations I see and for some reason I feel like I fall short of that with my creations. I thought I would share. I did enjoy sitting here with my watercolors, colored pencils, pens etc infront of my window watching it snow as I created something from my mind. :) I hope everyone is staying warm and toasty!
This week over at Theme Thursday the theme is Couples. So this is my entry :) Its my first time participating in this challenge also. Challenges are SO fun! I'm having a blast!

In Art-and-Crafts we had a swap for Paper Christmas ornaments but I was a little late on getting mine out because of the things that have happened in my life. So instead I made a valentine/winter themed Arch decoration. It has a cord for hanging and everything is hand painted with watercolors. I really like the blue against the red and the hearts with the snowflakes. The snowflakes are actually embossed, and the edging of the arch is in red sparkles but it doesnt show well with the scan. *Hmpf*
